Products
The company's principal product is TERMINALFOUR Site Manager. The aim of the product is make it really easy for organizations to deliver and manage very large, highly devolved, multilingual Websites, Intranets and Extranets.
The company invested €900,000 in research and gathered extensive feedback from partners and incorporated it into the development of Site Manager 7.0.
The launch of Site Manager 7.0 led to a “record breaking year” for TERMINALFOUR. While the company still has a “stronghold” from industry watching website CMS Wire.
Criticism
As a proprietary product, TERMINALFOUR is seen by some adopters as expensive in terms of cost and security. In terms of cost, the "On premises" licence starts at $15,000 with development of your custom CMS extra to this. In terms of security, since the source code is not made publicly available, it is impossible to know how secure the platform is, unlike with open source CMS solutions (which may be more or less secure).
